《Two Brothers》11: Consequences
Advertisement
"It is encouraged between the Mage schools for the students to create their own Magic Spells.
Copying the skill of someone else is possible but the result will never be the same in terms of Magic Efficiency and the over all result. Only in times of war when there is not time for experimenting that it is encouraged for young Casters Apprentices to copy cat the skills of their instructors."
-Introduction to Magic By Multiple Authors
Jack was sitting in a corner of the Shelter, opposite to where his now feverous brother was sleeping while muttering gibberish about "Cleansing Fire" and "Truth Showing Flames" between other fire related stuff he did not cared about.
He was still in shock about what the pendant hanging from his neck implied. He tried to take it off but the Title Engaged did not disappeared. He rested his head on his knees and tried to think but there was no logical reason behind that Woman's... no, Mermaid's "proposition", it was his brother the one that called them with his music, it was him who played the music as they singed. why would she, SHE, such a beautiful woman... MERMAID!
He screamed inside his head while he put his hands over it while rocking back and forth like a traumatized child. beautiful breasts and being isolated from any member of the opposite sex for weeks has started to play tricks on his mind, it had to be some kind of magic of some sort, it had to be... (breast magic) he cursed his mind for making fun of him.
This was a serious situation, not only he did not know her, but she was a different spiciest all together, they did not speak the same language or at least he thought so, and what is worst... SHE SCARED HIM, somehow he felt like she had a way to see inside of him he did not wanted other people to know who he was. He had done regrettable things. Things he was ashamed off, and he did not desired anyone to know about it.

After they got to this God forsaken land and Figured out the Whole (((systema))) bullshit he thought he could get away from his past, he actually enjoyed nature, that is why his Fishing skill was so high level, all he did back on earth was Work construction and Fish on his free time, the money he earned bought him the peace he needed to keep on living and not end up as his brother a couple of years back when he tried to hang himself after their mother died.
Life is Dark and its scary, but even here nature is beautiful and full of colors, possibilities.
The cold and wet touch of Bosco's snout touching his arm brought him back from the deep corners of his mind.
"sup buddy" with a sorrowful smile he petted the dog who seemed to have grown quite a bit since they landed in this magic world, The dog's eyes shined in the dark.
"wanna go outside?" asked Jack, Bosco's tail wiggled left and right excited.
before leaving he helped his brother drink some water, he was sweating while mumbling about fires and flames talking to him. after putting the clay cup down he was about to get up when a strong grip held him by the wrist, he looked at Brandon who was now staring back at him, eyes as wide as they could get.
"I see you with gray hair, sitting on a wooden chair, four of your grandkids running around the hall playing, you are smiling, the room smells of camomile and raspberries, a woman smiles at you and you from down the room and you seem happy... I see you, young as now, walking on an endless grass field, an army of mounted men charging at you, tears rolling down your face, you smell the air for a last time before raising your weapons... I see you kneeling under a tree, your broken spear in front of you, instead of skin, meant and bones covering your body there is only stone, two dead kids are in front of you, beasts are feasting on their corpses..." Brandon's eyes rolled inside his skull and he began muttering about fire once again releasing his iron grip from his brothers wrist.

Jake fell down on his ass and tried to crawl away from his brother. he did not understood what happened but it was terrifying. he rubbed his wrist, it hurt, he did not knew his brother had this kind of strength, it would probably leave him a bruise.
He "unlocked" the door and put it on the side he went down the river and collected some fresh water to boil. It was almost dawn, and the sky was starting to turn light blue on the horizon. he filled the big clay pot but before he turned around he saw something laying down on the river shore, a small bundle of what seemed turnips or some other root vegetable carefully placed there as an offering or more likely a gift.
His Woodsman skill did not raised any alarms and it seemed like they where edible.
they would have some fish soup for breakfast then.
While the soup boiled he started Flint Knapping some raw obsidian glass he found along the river bank
He needed to get his mind away from deadly attractive Mermaids that tricked him in to getting engaged and feverous prophecies that made no sense.

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.

The Core And The Wardens of Eternity
What is the Core, they asked me... It's the light that pushes the darkness away, a bastion of justice, a safe keeper of life. It grooms love and tolerance, embraces science, fights ignorance, sentences it to die a slow and tragic death. The Core... it's something that can't be destroyed for destroying it is to terminate the time and space itself. When the stuck-in-a-dark-age world of Zanria goes offline, the Core sends one of its experienced agents to find out what is going on and to try to reestablish a mysteriously severed connection. However, all his training and experience might come way short as the world sinks in war and chaos with different races and clans fighting for the Star of Bardan, the ward rumored to possess enough supernatural power to create and destroy entire worlds. *** I just changed the name of the series, from 'the Nexus' to 'the Core'. Somehow it just sounds more right to me. This is the first story, and it has a medieval fantasy setting. But, eventually, this is going to turn into Isekai series with elements of LitRPG. So, my future books might include worlds with advanced technologies that might be more in SciFi, including Steampunk, genre. The first book might start slow, but after a few chapters, it should all be properly set up, and by then you should get the feel of how it will all flow. Also, I plan to introduce different story threats that should spread out and criss-cross in the future. Hopefully, I will not complicate it too much, and that it will all read good. I am planning to continue to add chapters to the main storyline here, but I'm also starting a new story threat in the Core series called The Recordings of Raan. There is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.
